Title

So, Hello everybody,

I need your help indeed. The title of published article
in an international peer reviewed journal is 'Mutagenic response of ...
radiation exposure on rat brain'. I don't understand. It must be right opposite
'Response of rat brain on ... radiation' and article is just about this.

Can you give me a hint?

Thanks. Thyme

Hi, If A responds to B, it means that B has an effect on A. What happens with A is the response of A to B. Thus, eg A rat brain responds to radiation.

Thus,

eg A rat brain responds to radiation.

eg Something is the response of a rat brain to radiation.

Thanks Clive,

I absolutely agree with you. Does it mean that cited title is just not correct?

And I see next point: 'on' or 'to' radiation or can be both?

Hi,

Seems wrong, although you didn't give the complete title.

Response to radiation.

Thanks Clive,

It's actually full title (Mutagenic response of 2.4 GHz radiation exposure on rat brain, Indian authors).

My best, Thyme
